Re: Screeching from transom area at high RPM's while turning
Random thought:
When I feel down around the engine coupler area on the back of the engine, it feels pretty rusty. The rim of it is flaking off with rust even.
Just above it is where the two fiberglass halves meet, and there was water splashing up and in there and on to the back of the engine for a while before we sealed it, which is why the coupler is rusty I think.
Is there anything else in the couple area that can go bad besides the u-joint and gimbal bearing?
What does it sound like when the u-joint goes bad in these boats?
